Services
The realization of the Kyoto Protocol targets asks for an ambitious and carefully designed national and foreign climate policy with regard to the policy targets, the policy instruments and to the concrete measures. CAP SD advises the Dutch government and international organizations in defining their climate policy.
CAP SD assesses the potential of JI, CDM and emission trading by quantitative analyses and by market studies. We support governments in drafting their national policy and rules in participating in the Kyoto mechanisms. We also advise companies on the strategic use of emission trading.
Experience
CAP SD has carried out market studies, has developed guidelines for the Kyoto mechanisms, including baselines, and has supported in establishing procedures and institutional arrangements in the JI and CDM host countries. We have advised companies on carbon management and the strategy to reduce the carbon footprint of company and products (with Ecofys).
We have built experience in policy research, and in identifying cost-effective options for emission reduction. Our partners at SQ Consult can draw on an extensive experience in the design and implementation of emission trading schemes, in particular for the European Union.
